As you want a rank, I suggest the use of -egen, rank()-.
-egen, group()- is only going to produce an equivalent result if there
are no ties.
You get rank of 1 for highest by negating the variable:
drop rank
egen rank = rank(-revenue)

I am trying to create 'rank' based on total revenues. I used the following
command:
sort revenue
egen rank=group(revenue)
The result is that the smallest revenue is 1 and the highest revenue is 100,
for example. How can I reverse the rank? I want the highest revenue to be
number '1'.
